3D Printer Filament, Meterk 1.75mm PLA Filament Refills 1kg/Roll 2.2LBS 1kg Spool for MakerBot ANET RepRap 3D Printer (White)

Good filament, well within the advertised tolerances. I measured 1.74mm and 1.75mm at many spots on the spool. It unwinds without binding. It does seem to like printing on the hotter side at 220 for me. Regardless, the print quality is fine. I printed a test dog at 0.2mm and some snap caps at 0.1mm without issues.

When I first started using this filament I thought it was great. Then I came out one morning to find that the filament snapped between the roll and the extruder. I thought it was just a small bad spot, re-fed the filament and kept using it.Then a couple of days later the same thing.I tested it and it was brittle for a good 30cm back in the roll. I then checked about a meter of it and then after 2 meters I hit another 30cm brittle spot.This isn't a moistuer issue as I had only openned the roll a few days earlier, this is an issue with the filament having sit on the shelf way to long before being shipped to me.Honestly outside of that the filament was good. It ran in my machine just fine and the prints are good, but I can't give it 3 stars because of the quality control of sending out filament that is too old.

I've been trying different brands to compare them. My favorite was Hatchbox, but I recently tried a cheaper filament from Wal Mart, then the brand that Microcenter sells and now this one. So far the Wal Mart brand is the worst. Microcenter's brand prints fine but it's not shiny at all, it's an odd dull color. This brand prints nice and clean and is shiny like Hatchbox (maybe even shinier).I printed at 205 degrees on a Maker Select v2.1 and haven't had any issues at all. Definitely recommended!

I've gone through several of these and as other reviews have mentioned, there is a quality control problem. I'm spending a lot of time replacing filament as there are areas in the spools that are extremely brittle, like a potato chip it just breaks at every point you try to touch it. I'm also getting clogs in brand new nozzles, but I'm printing 24/7 on a few machines. The print quality itself is very good, adhesion to the bed is excellent. I managed to get a bit better results with a different filament but continue to use this one primarily because of the color. It's a very solid and bright white, not translucent like many white filaments. As a result, the final product is much less identifiable as something that was 3D printed. Recommended if you're looking to save money and don't mind the brittle issue. The vacuum seal on the last one I received failed... so far the filament itself is flexible. It must be an issue with old stock.

I am genuinely confused as to the perfect rating for the printer filament. I normally purchase the Dikale 3D printer filament and have had no issues at all. Since they increased the price, I purchased the Meterk filament to see how it compares.I found that on every print (of the two prints I tried before giving up and returning this), the printer filament would tangle and bind causing the extruder to strip the filament and stop extruding (Example in the image after it bound and I push up to see where the filament was). If not completely binding, it would become tight and cause issues with extrusion rates. The filament spool holder has been working perfectly fine with other rolls of filament so I don't believe the issue comes from the holder placement.On the second attempt (which was set to be 6+ hours long), the spool bound around half way through as well. In order not to completely waste my time and energy I edited the gcode to resume the print and pull the filament from the spool before hand, and loosely drape it on an empty spool to reduce binding (Second image). Then I babied the print all the way through the remaining 3 hours. Honestly a complete waste of time.I really wished that this filament had worked out and I understand it's probably just one spool out of hundreds but I don't think I could ever recommend this product or purchase it again. It has just been the worst experience with 3D printing and a waste of time and energy.

Using a Creality3d pro 10s with this plastic and so far I have had great results. After dialing in the temperature between 210-215 and heat bed at 50-60 the prints have turn out great with no peeling or miss prints. The white is a nice bright white. Wish there were more colors to choose from.

I purchased this roll of filament because Amazon was out of stock of my regular supplier white PLA. This filament printed better than any PLA I have used in the last 3 months that I have been using a 3D printer. I'd like to buy some in other colors but don't see anything other than white on Amazon.

Problem number 1: Filament is brittle and breaks if left straight for long periods. It will break inside the extruder and filament sensor if not used for more than about 12 hours. I've been removing the broken pieces and extruding the filament again before every print if it's been many hours since the last print. The annoying part is when I forget and end up printing nothing for more 30 mins.Problem 2 is the cross tangling on the filament spool. I've had it happened about midway through the spool so it's not a regular issue but when added with problem 1, I wouldn't recommend this filament to anyone. Given the high reviews the filament gets, I'm confused how it's this annoying to work with.
